About this Event
Selective college acceptance rates are declining, and you feel stressed about your DC high school student getting into college.
Your kid also feels the stress: 76% of students said completing a college application was more stressful than anything else they had done academically.1
An excellent college application essay can be the only window a reviewer has to your child’s complex identity, but you lack the time and/or skills to effectively coach your child towards an essay that makes them stand out. Trying can put a strain on already dynamic teenager-parent relationships.
Traditional one-on-one college essay writing programs are a drag for teens, and direct students towards cookie cutter essays that dull the edges of their personalities, rather than offering reflective writing instruction that enhances a student’s sense of confidence and self.
826DC’s college essay group workshops are personalized to help high school students tell their unique stories with professional instruction focused on reflective writing
We are starting this new offering with a one day workshop for students who have completed a first draft on their own.
